I could not decide whether to put this in this Thread or the Finished Projects Thread.Since this Board has been neglected for a while here i am. ;D I was kinda getting burned out on Custom after Custom so i thought i would go back and revisit something different.This is a 1:8 Resin Garage Kit sculpted by Steve West of this well known Painting"Primeval Princess"by Boris Vallejo. This was my second 3D representation of a Boris Painting,some of you may remember the other i posted a loooonnng time ago somewhere on this Board.I started this Kit about 3.5 to 4 years ago and had to pack it up to move House.Since then she has languished in a Box waiting to be completed.I dug her out last week and had to touch up a lot of the original Paint and finish her which i finally did last night.It has been a long time coming. Anyways,enough rambling.Take a look:     This one's for you Jase.  Enjoy! |

Well, the first success you can claim is that at first glance this looks like a painting and not a model!! Looks like THE painting!! Your painting skills really did get a nice chance to shine here.
Really tight control on the details and subtle colors, beautiful work Andy.
And what a stunning pair!! Hey!! I'm talking about the lizards!!
Throughout I notice your colors are VERY gradual, very natural. No stark contrasts that make it look "painterly"- I'm truly impressed!
Even the rock base is stunning!
Time for another Karma!!!

[glow=red,2,300]WHOA![/glow] Wot a body!  Excellent paint application here FB, The fleshtones speak to me but they are all dirty words so I cannot repeat them. Truly a masterful job in bringing realizm to the entire piece. I love the "scale" of the dragons & the base "Rocks" ;D I know I know, not punny.  Will  |

Thanks so much to you all,i'm so glad you can get some idea of the tonal blends to the Flesh for all 3 figures.It's a real challenge for me on these larger scale Models but it's a lot of fun at the same time. Sorry ,the pics are so bright,i've figured out what i'm doing wrong with my Photography and will be re-doing the piccies shortly.You'll be able to see all the detail a bit more clearly then,it's kinda washed out a bit at the moment. She certainly does grab your attention doesn't she? ;D And i'm shocked too,not a single comment from our resident Boobie man,i must be slipping!  |

A breathtaking piece of work all the way. The Vallejo style is there for sure. The skin tones on both the creatures and the girl are just amazing. The facial detailing too. I am due to try my hand at a couple of female figures soon but I just know I will never pull off a job like this. The metal body adornment too is lovley. An ace job!
